The Portland Suite

The apartment was fabulous and had everything we needed.

Really generous living space & bedrooms and en-suite was a bonus. Welcome pack was exceptional and best we’ve ever had. Only slight issue was Wi-Fi not very strong ….couldn’t stream movies. But other than that place was exceptional.

We enjoyed our stay in a beautiful apartment.

The apartment had every facility you could wish for. The views to the rear through the French Doors was lovely. It was our first visit to Lyme Regis and it will not be our last. The town is beautiful. Thank you, Ian.

Lyme Regis is a beautiful, cheerful and friendly place.

I appreciated having sea views.

A lovely position apartment, very convenient to walk to all attractions, views outstanding.

Well equipped with homely feel, easily accommodated 4 adults. Small points to mention, coat hooks to hang wet coats would have been helpful, more mirrors in family bedroom, only 1 dressing table mirror and a full length mirror somewhere would be appreciated. Would stay again though, overall lovely stay.

We loved this apartment, it felt very spacious and light, and the view is just lovely, especially for spending a rainy day indoors - you still know that you're on holiday when you can sit on a sofa gazing out to sea!

We also enjoyed how warm and cosy it was, our February holiday was chilly out so it was great to get back in again to this warmth each day. We self-catered most nights and found the kitchen was really well equipped. A perfect location, equidistant to both the Cobb end of town and the other end with shops, museums and cafes. It was also great to have a parking space and not have to walk up the hill to the carpark! We would definitely recommend the Portland Suite and may well return. Only slight issue was with the wifi, but this was resolved when we mentioned it.

Great apartment, large ,comfortable,very clean, warm and well equipped.

The views are amazing from the lounge,dining room and kitchen. So close to everything with the bonus of parking. Would definitely book again.

Excellent stay in a flat with plenty of space, very clean and comfortable with an unexpected welcome pack with some useful essentials.

Our third stay in The Portland Suite.

Convenient location and very comfortable, with all-important parking space. Kieran & Hannah (Thanks for the welcome pack and the milk - much appreciated.)

After journeying some 335 miles through heavy traffic during a heat wave to Lyme Regis we hoped the Portland Suite at St Michael's could cater for two very weary travellers looking to sample the delights of Lyme Regis.

It simple exceeded expectations from start to finish we simple wanted for nothing...5 star accommodation we never wanted to leave...Thank you Portland Suite!

We loved staying here and can see why so many visitors writing in the visitors book have returned year after year.

Beautiful views in a lovely light filled apartment. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for the delicious goody bag.

This is an amazing property with views to die for.

Very spacious and meticulous. Well equipped with everything you could wish for, the goodie bag was a lovely touch. Our only negative was we struggled a little getting into the key safe because we suffer a little with arthritis and we found it a little stiff and fiddly, having said that we would definitely go back

Very clean and well appointed apartment on the first floor with sea view.

Very nice welcome pack including coffee, tea and nibbles. even some Christmas decorations! Only down side is the internet speed (5 MBps, tested several times).

The rug in the living area had a tendency to crease up which could potentially be a trip hazard.

We had to straighten it out several times. The toothbrush/shaver charge point in the en-suite didn’t work. The shelf in the bottom of the fridge door was broken at one end. A lot of the wardrobe space was taken up by storage bags which left no space for stowing suitcases. During our stay someone put up 3 notices reminding people to be quiet when using the common spaces and that children under 10 were not allowed. We weren’t aware of any excessive noise/ children during our stay and found the notes to be a little disconcerting.

Fabulous property to stay in - clean, comfortable, lovely views & contained everything we needed plus some!

! Welcome gift bag was a delight. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy Lyme in comfort.

The Portland Suite is a superb property.

It is well equipped and comfortable with excellent decor it is a lovely light airy property with wonderful sea views. The location is excellent close to all amenities and just a short stroll down through the park to the Beach and Cobb. We shall definitely be booking again.

Dirty shower, ripped and unchanged bedlinen, ripped curtains, dirty windows, tap sticking out on floor in corridor, steep internal steps not suitable for elderly, parking not suitable for large vehicles, old broken kitchen utensils

Having visited Lyme on many occasions but a first visit to Portland suite We found in general the facilities to be of a very good standard and well equipped One addition we would recommend would be a hard rail from the kitchen to the lounge area steps for the elderly who have walking for issues are a problem something to hold onto would be a help Tv and Wi-Fi access/sky don’t work needs addressing Would recommend and we would use again our selves

Excellent property, spacious, comfortable, a short walk from the high street and with a view to die for, regardless of the weather!

The property had all the essentials needed. The parking space was snug for a big car, but workable. The only slight negative was the limited TV channels available as we stayed in every evening. A sky box is provided but it is not connected to broadband so you can only get certain channels (the guest information provides a password to access movies etc, but it doesn't work without a broadband connection), and you cant connect to your own accounts on other services such as prime/Netflix etc either. We ended up buying some DVDs in one of the charity shops as there was a DVD player. All in all, a lovely stay and we will definitely be back.

Lovely spacious apartment with great views, in an ideal location.

Contains everything you need plus more. Would definitely return.

What a beautiful place, the apartment was so comfortable, clean and airy.

Loved that it was so close to the town and we could walk down whenever we wanted. Although the weather wasn’t great during our stay, the apartment was comfortable to stay in if we wanted to. There were games, puzzles and dvds. We loved sitting by the window and looking out at the ocean. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again. We also had an issue with the boiler, I phoned the number given and someone was there within an hour and fixed it straight away. Thank you for providing such a lovely place.

Have lost count of how often we have stayed in Portland Suite but we do try to visit each year.

We love the views from the apartment, and the easy access to the town and Cobb. Not to mention all the amazing eateries in Lyme Regis.

The apartment was comfortable and spacious.

And for once it was exactly like the photographs and the description of where it was situated was accurate A couple of very small niggles two strips of kitchen towel were left on the holder for us and maybe a little more toilet roll could have been provided

Our only issue was that it was only possible to use the internet on our phones, not on our laptops.

We solved this by going to see friends in Bridport and using their internet. You need to put details of the internet key in the info folder (your office did try to find this but sent the wrong ones - I suspect there are some old routers kicking about). The actual password is correct but this isn't what's required for laptop access.

All excellent, including location.

Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

We have been visiting The Portland Suite for a number of years now and St Michaels house for 6 years I believe.

The decoration is a really good standard with lovely local art on the walls and the new carpets throughout are a welcome new addition. Unfortunately despite the wardrobe space being good, there continues to be very limited hangers (you have to bring your own). Drawer space is also very limited in the bedrooms, nowhere for trousers / shorts / jumpers and we end up having piles on the floors. In my opinion 10.5 tog duvets in the summer should be swapped for 4.5 or 7.5 tog, we end up every year taking the duvets out and using only the covers with a blanket for colder mornings ( again that we bring from home). The seating furniture in the living room has seen better days now, particularly the cream sofa bed and is uncomfortable to sit on for a period of time, but it was nice to have all the extra decorations and cushions back and the lamps in the living areas. The best thing is the location and easy parking, we are really close to the main shopping and eateries and short walk to the beach as long as you are fit enough to deal with the steep hills and steps. Given the large price rise for 2023, unfortunately this will probably be our last year at St Michaels House. :(

Very comfortable, lovely views

Spacious well appointed apartment with lovely views.

Ideal for a break and good location for shops, beach & great walks. The hills certainly keep you healthy in Lyme Regis. The welcome pack was a nice touch & much appreciated.

Really loved the apartment.

The views were a lovely surprise. Two of us introduced the others to Lyme, as it's one of our favourite places and we will all definitely come back. Tom's fish restaurant on the front was great.

A massive thank you for everything!

! Welcome pack was a wonderful surprise and wow, what a fab apartment!!! 10 out of 10!

This is a lovely spacious apartment with everything you need.

The lovely views are a bonus. It's in anideal location for shops and beach walks. Thank you for the welcome pack.

Our third visit to Lyme Regis and this lovely apartment after a 10yr gap and we still love it as much and have enjoyed our stay here.

We were lucky with the weather - only one wet day. Thank you for the welcome pack, hopefully we will be back again soon.
